Rosa Passos with Kenny Barron and Ron Carter brings the iconic Brazilian vocalist and guitarist to the Appel Room for the first time since her sold-out performance in 2016 with NEA Jazz Master pianist Kenny Barron.
Her mesmerizing synergy will be enhanced by Passos’ reunion with Ron Carter — also an NEA Jazz Master whom bass virtuoso Stanley Clarke described as “the most important bassist of the last fifty years.” — following the acclaimed album “Entre Amigos” from 2003. Although Passos has been called “the female João Gilberto,” she is a prolific and distinctive vocalist and guitarist, with a playful yet sophisticated style marked by perfect pitch and spacious elegance. Complementing this first meeting of these three masters is top Brazilian drummer Rafael Barata.
You can purchase tickets for the 9:30 shows on March 24 and 25 as part of the 9:30 in The Appel Room series — three 9:30 shows in the Appel Room for $99 (includes all fees) for any available seat. Your Appel Room ticket can be used for free entry to the Late Night Session at Dizzy’s that night.
